What is Vibo?
A free learning app where you learn by making
Vibo is a mobile and web learning app from the AI4Life Institute. Instead of memorizing for tests, learners take short, playful courses that each end in something real — an app, a game, a song, or a story. A companion pet grows alongside them, and progress is mapped across Howard Gardner's eight intelligences.

The world of Vibo
Eight islands, eight ways to be smart
Gardner argued intelligence isn't one ability but eight. In Vibo, each one is an island — and your growth across all eight becomes a radar chart you can watch expand.

Courses that end in a creation
Make, don't memorize. Ten interactive steps, each ending in a mini-creation — and every course ships something real.
No grinding. Intelligence points only come from content that actually challenges you.
Progress parents understand. Reported in Lexile, CEFR, K12-CS, and Common Core — not made-up points.
Inside the app
Five screens, one journey
Privacy first
The safest room in the house
Vibo is engineered to meet the strictest children's-privacy law in every market it serves — modeling the responsible technology the Institute advocates.
- No email, phone, or location collected from children — and no chat surface exists at all.
- No ads, no advertising profiles, no third-party analytics SDKs.
- Activity events auto-delete after 90 days; parents can wipe them instantly.
- Verifiable parental consent before any under-13 profile is created.
- Row-Level Security on every table — no account can read another’s data.
- Built for COPPA, GDPR Article 8, the UK Children’s Code, and PIPL.
For families
Real oversight, not a dashboard for show
- Weekly reports in standards families recognize — Lexile, CEFR, K12-CS, Common Core
- Screen-time limits, break reminders, and a bedtime cutoff per child
- Per-child course controls and fully isolated child profiles behind a parent PIN
- One-tap history clearing, plus data export and deletion on request
